Notes:

At Mt. Prospect, Hill studied the sanitary condition of the water supply in Brooklyn. This was an extension of the job Hill held under Wilson at the Bur. of Pathology, Bacteriology and Disinfection. He made daily chemical and bacteriological examinations of the city's water.

Director of Boston City Lab. and leader of Bug Club. Described method of hanging block culture method for studying growth and cell division of individual bacteria. Appointed director of laboratory in 1898 and left in 1905.

At the 1901 meeting of the SAB, Hill presented two papers which did not appear in the program, but did appear in the printed abstracts: "Branching in Bacteria, with Special Reference to B. Diphtheriae," in which he declared the problem to be "of fundamental importance, theoretical and, in its relation to diagnostic work, practical"; "'Hanging Block' Preparation for Microscopic Observation of Developing Bacteria," a purely technical paper. At the 1902 meeting, he presented a similar discussion, not appearing on the Program, on a "Preliminary Note on Chromogenic Cultures of B. diphtheriae." At the 1904 meeting of the SAB, Hill suggested some "Introductory Remarks on Morphology of Bacteria," which was read by Rickards. He also demonstrated a "Porous Top for Petri Dishes," described "Staining Bacterial Fields under Microscopic Observation," and a "method for Obtaining Smears for Flagella Staining."

At the 1908 meeting, Hill presented a provocative paper discussing "Bacteriology as an Important Non‑Technical Study." This was a plea for bacteriology as biology, using it to demonstrate principles of sociology, hygienic living, and natural history.

At the 1913 SAB meeting, Hill organized the session on "Sanitary Bacteriology ‑‑ Including Water and Dairy Bacteriology."

He is best remembered for his involvement in developing the Journal of the American Public Health Association.
